asterisk users - Aug 2006 - Can the codec/format for name/greeting in voicemail be changed?

Hello people,

before I go hunting on Wiki and Google, if maybe someone here knows
the answer to this.

This is in regards to the voicemail system. Is it possible to change
the default/native format in which the greetings and outgoing messgaes
for a user's mailbox are stored? It seems like (*) records everything
in a GSM 6.10, mono 8kHz. If I was using the filesystem, then I could
run a cronjob or something and convert all greetings etc. in the
formats that I expect the endpoints to be using, but since I use
Realtime, I don't have that luxury.

How then can I get (*) to either record in a different format OR be
able to convert these voicemail subscriber greetings in my database to
some other format?

Any ideas? suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
${RR}

Sorry to badger everyone on the list but I never heard from even a
single person on this so felt maybe I'll repeat it, just in case, it
got unnoticed.

Any ideas if it's possible to either record greetings/names in a
different format than GSM OR be able to convert these voicemail
subscriber greetings in my database to some other format?

This is if I'm storing the voicemail and all greetings/etc in a SQL
Server using Realtime.

Thanks so much
\R
